Adore the name of this set so much, I had to use it as my post title !

I actually retried water coloring with my Distress Inks and Markers !!!

Yay !! I am a huge fan of Kristina Werner , so as you can guess when I watched one of her amazing videos on coloring with Distress inks/markers ...I went straight to my local craft stores and purchased as many of the colors as they had available !!! Purchased the Strathmore , Archival and Bristol water color paper pads , brushes ..you get the picture ! Sat down and I was ready to color !! Here I am a couple of years after and I finally did it ,lol !!!

I came to realize that I absolutely enjoy coloring images in with this method ...relaxing is the word that kept coming to my mind . It is important to note that I am not going for a certain "perfect" look I was going for soft and water colored . One of the tips I came to find is that the ink you use to stamp the image is very ( don't ask how much paper I wasted learning this ) important , since it has to stay in place while water is added . For me , the ink that ended up working best isRanger Archival Ink in Jet Black .

Ohh and the colors I used for the images were Tattered Rose , Vintage Photo , Worn Lipstick , Chipped Sapphire and Mustard Seed . If you would like to see more photos or to see the whole card and the goodies from Butterfly Reflections, Ink that I used please feel welcome to visit the posthere.

Thank you so much for stopping by !!

I look forward to coloring this way and sharing these projects with you !!

I started with my all time favorite dies from CDD Fancy Frames , I did a bit of watercoloring with my distress inks to create the night sky . I then added some white acrylic paint using an old toothbrush to create a starry effect .

I colored these images and die cut the scalloped circles to create my card.
